I don't even know where to start, it's been such a jam packed full to bursting week. Linen Luxe has come on an absolute treat this week, with the odd total disaster thrown in for good measure: All the wall and floor tiles arrived and the underfloor heating was laid (and taped down!), then a...

Red Magazine property pages rock Moregeous
Clearly Uma Thurman just wasn't glamorous enough for Red Magazine this month and they needed a bit of property inspired Northern gorgeousness hehe: I am a little confused by the title of the piece as I am not entirely sure the slump is over yet?!
